First Trip in the NEW FishLocker Boat - Deep Sea Wreck Fishing

This was literally the first trip out to sea on my new Warrior 170. After completing some modifications I took the boat out for some Offshore Sea trials. Deep sea wreck fishing at its finest - Both on lures and at anchor I found some stunning fish and got in some practice using the new boat. As mentioned in the video, here is the link to my video on how to anchor a wreck. • Anchoring a boat - How...

We have more videos in editing and will be doing a proper “walk around” on the new boat as soon as I have her set up how I like. Have a wonderful day and take care. 😊🎣🐟

[@winchimeonetime]

Great to see you reaping the rewards of your hard work and efforts John.

[@JMuffFishing]

So nice to see the seagulls doing what they are meant to do by following an angler whom is landing fish Instead of ripping up bin liners of rubbish in Bristol😅

[@progwolf12]

Always a pleasure watching you fishing, rock pooling! Cheers mate.

[@jessebrown4347]

Would your Go pro be able to handle the depth that the wrecks are at? You made a good point about wondering what was going on down there, would be cool if you were able to get footage of what the area around the wreck looked like. Might even help with how you would wanna anchor apon it. Not sure if it's possible but sounded like a good theory in my mind lol.

[@TheFishLocker]

@@jessebrown4347 - Too dark down there.

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

"i love imagining what's going on down there" - that's it in a nutshell. it's the enthusiasm that makes this such a good channel.

Every time there is a bite or a nibble I always try and imagine what it is. 😊

Good to see you got some new toys. Can tell you’re chuffed with the boat. All that hard work paying off and great footage as usual. First fish for the boar was a great fish !

Thank you very much. Yes this was a really big deal for me, not just becuase it was a big purchase but becuase this is what I have to show for the hard work I have put into the channel. 😊💙

What a cracking pollock on the mackie feathers mate. Quality ling for the table too, like the new boat John like the advice on keeping stuff tidy and organised whilst operating the boat. Obvious but not always at forefront of the mind👍 I understand it’s good practice to have some kind of kill switch attached to pfd via lanyard and karabiner. Keep up the good work, tight lines.

[@mstrdiver]

Poseidon was smiling good luck on you with the double hook-up at 07:15. That's the best way to imbue your new vessel with great luck for a long life on your first trip. Congrats, tight lines and stay safe. I'd recommend something like Locker Magic for the new boat's name to keep the theme with your channel name.

[@mstrdiver]

John - Does the new boat have a live bait well too? That would be a good bit of kit for you as you didn't have room in your older vessel.

[@stevebarlow3154]

Handlines can be amazingly effective at times. I remember going off for a long weekend's sailing with some mates when I lived in Tasmania. We anchored off a small bay to have breakfast and there was a bit of bacon left over afterwards, so I used it as bait. It was amazing, I was getting a bite from a flathead every thirty seconds or so until I ran out of bacon!
